COVID-19 is associated with acute pulmonary and cardiac injury. To better understand the degree and severity of cardiopulmonary injury as well as short and long-term sequelae of COVID-19 infection, this study will perform longitudinal study in patients who had recent known diagnosis of COVID-19.

The objectives for this study include providing structural and function information about lung and heart using chest imaging, MRI, Echo, Spirometry, and blood markers in order to assess severity of cardiopulmonary injury and short- and long-term sequelae of COVID-19 infection as well as assess indicators of mental health and quality of life.

Inclusion Criteria:

• have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and discharged from the ICU or,
• have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and have been discharged from hospital or,
• have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 but was NOT hospitalized
• ages 18 and over, and
• competent and willing to sign informed consent and comply to all aspects of the protocol

CONTROL Inclusion Criteria

• No clinical history of COVID-19,
• No active clinical symptoms indicative of possible COVID-19,
• Ages 18 and over,
• competent and willing to sign informed consent and comply to all aspects of the protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants cannot sign consent

Any individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation to the MRI or x-ray portion of the study:

• Participants who are pregnant or currently trying to get pregnant
• Participants unable to comply with any portion of the protocol (i.e. removing metals prior to entering the MRI scan room) or who have contraindications to MRI scanning (i.e., non-MRI-conditional pacemakers/defibrillators, pregnancy, ferromagnetic implants such as aneurysm clips, surgical clips, prostheses, artificial hearts, valves with steel parts, metal fragments, shrapnel, tattoos near the eye, or steel implants)
• Persistent symptoms related to COVID-19 (in which case the patient may be re-screened later) As is done for all patients undergoing clinical MRI in our department, each patient will be screened for contraindications to MRI with a routine questionnaire prior to scanning.

CONTROL Exclusion Criteria

Patients with any of the following are excluded from as controls:

• Pace maker
• Poorly controlled diabetes
• Poorly controlled Restrictive lung disease
• Heart failure
• Parkinson's Disease
• Hypertension
• Any diagnosis or history of autonomic neuropathy

Patients who have had a positive COVID-19 test, but were not hospitalized/admitted will also be identified and eligible to participate in the study. Age and sex matched controls will also be recruited from those with no clinical history of COVID-19.

Individual participant data that underlie the results reported in this article, after deidentification (text, tables, figures, and appendices) will be shared upon reasonable request.

Beginning 9 months and ending 36 months following article publication or as required by a condition of awards and agreements supporting the research.

The investigator who proposed to use the data will have access to the data upon reasonable request. Requests should be directed to covid-19survivorship@nyulangone.org. To gain access, data requestors will need to sign a data access agreement.
